Simon Seahorse embarks on an adventure to find his lost lucky pearl in this first book in The Not-So-Tiny Tales of Simon Seahorse chapter book series.Meet Simon, a tiny seahorse with a not-so-tiny personality! Simon has lived near Coral Grove, a small village near the ocean, his whole life, but from the stories he tells, you’d think he’s traveled the seas! It’s not that Simon lies. He prefers the term “embellishes,” and his way of seeing the world makes the everyday extraordinary. So when his lucky pearl goes missing after he brings it to school one day, Simon’s journey to find it is sure to be an epic tale! With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, The Not-So-Tiny Tales of Simon Seahorse chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
I found that this book encourages lying through elaborate story telling. The seahorse “embellished” his stories to make them big and exciting, but the reader knows they aren’t true. In the end there are no consequences and everyone thinks his elaborate stories are so cute and fun.
Very cute read aloud chapter book. The illustrations are fun and my kids loved it. As an adult, it was just okay (not my favorite read aloud but I've read a lot worse).
